If at all it is bad, then you take the Bankura - Durgapur route, which was bad sometime back but motorable (some reapir work is also been done)
3) Ilambazar - Bolpur is about 13km and the road is good...
4) You can do all the route even in night time, nothing to worry about security...I would suggest you to take the Kolkata route instead of NH60 if you cannot cross NH60 latest by 7PM...

Thanks Abhi and your FIL for sharing this crucial info about NH-60. This was the weak link in our journey.
Thanks for your suggestions for checking out some places in our journey. As I mentioned earlier, while going we may visit our maternal place (Cuttack)- night stay, that too if we reach within 9-10 PM. We don't have any other confirm place to visit, but we'll plan as journey progresses.
If you can get some info on Ramsagar-Sonamukhi-Kaksa route from your contacts/FIL, it'll be a great help. Between I'll also try to get info for that part from my contacts.
